I was in Rav...What a wonderfully informative blog. I was in Ravenna last year in this very spot and the mosaics are amazing. Overhead are the typical early Christian Eagle, Ox, Man, and Lion with the alpha omega sign. Also, there were lots of intricately crafted star patterns.<BR/><BR/>Mosaics are a hobby for me, I made a marble copy 4'x4' of one from the house of the trident I saw one time on Delos (6600 pieces hand cut, whew).<BR/><BR/>I want to try to copy some Roman lime fresco painting after seeing the Stabiae exhibit this year in the US. Could anyone here recommend a good book on that?Erichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09174000870387556118noreply@blogger.com
